 Dearest Tribe, How are the new year's resolutions working out? Did you say you were wanting to get back on your mat more or try yoga for the first time? Well.... now is YOUR time. Let us not put off until tomorrow what can be done today! Your best life is waiting for you to create! It takes effort, action, and showing up. Your dreams must translate from head, to heart, to action, and ultimately habit. They don't just happen magically. Can you imagine if MLK Jr. kept his dream to himself, unrealized? YOU are that powerful. Dig deep, fulfill the dream only you have. No one is coming to live your dream for you. If you're waiting for a sign to know the time is right, see this as just that. The time is NOW and we are the ONES. EmbodyGR is here for you each and every week. Our offerings are always free, open to all over 18+, and 100% inclusive. We meet you where you are with the message that you are amazing just as you are... you don't have to change anything. I hope you can make it to EmbodyGR for the first time, come back if it's been a while, or if you're a weekly warrior, keep rocking!! Please bring some pals to share our goodness with others! Bonus- you get to practice with the incredible Melissa Thorndill who is part of our team of teachers at EmbodyGR. Shine on! Dana

 Tribe of goodness, What was your new year's resolution this year- to get healthier? to give back in a meaningful way? to find a community where you feel at home & that fills you up? to find your bliss, your tribe, your fit in the world? Well... look no further than EmbodyGR. Join us this Wednesday for yoga & mindfulness with Dana Christian Lee along with guest speaker Anna from Mel Trotter Ministries. Anna will share more about MTM, their mission & how we can give back. As we start off this new year, we at Embody are digging deep into our WHY! We strive to live our mantra "Feel Better DO Good." How you may ask- well... our organization not only offers access to the healing tools for physical and mental wellness to all people 18+; we ask our participants to give back to the GR community in service four hours each month. That is the secret formula to personal wellness & satisfaction- growth & service! You cannot have one without the other. Join us this week to find out how you can give back meaningfully to our homeless brothers, sisters & families through Mel Trotter. AND you will also receive a yoga & mindfulness practice in supportive community to help you elevate your life to the next level. It's a win, win, win- the perfect trifecta of goodness! Elevate yourself, EmbodyGR & greater GR. Not bad & it's all without financial cost. So what's your excuse not to show up? Allow yourself to be stronger than your reason why it won't work & look to the WHY of your own life to inspire you to make the time in your calendar for you & for others. Bring a friend & your beautiful open heart. See you on the mat. Love & light, dana  January 16, 2019 Who: YOU and all your people! What: Guest speaker Anna from Mel Trotter shares mission, vision & ways to give back.

Welcome to a new year, new page of the book of your life and that of EmbodyGR! We are going to kick it off with guest teacher, our beloved, Peri Jill Phillips! Be sure to give yourself the gift (one that doesn't sit on your credit card or break the bank) of a community that supports your growth physically & mentally; a community that welcomes you just as you are. There are no barriers to attending: zero cost, mats are provided, all abilities welcome, & all vibes are positive. If you make the commitment to yourself, your practice, our community & to giving back in service every week, I guarantee you will feel a lil' better & be inspired to do good in your own way. BUT you gotta show up... you gotta commit... you gotta resolve. That is why it's called a 'resolution' and not a wish. When you seek to resolve something in your life, you don't just 'hope' you actively seek a solution, decide firmly on a course of action & determine yourself to see it through. Resolve is action based and Embody is your accountability. The place to do your work in a supportive environment. So be sure to put EmbodyGR, EVERY Wednesday night, on repeat in your calendar this year & by day 365/365 of 2019 you will be amazed at the life you create! YOU are worth it! Cheers & buckle up! love~dana  Upcoming EventsJanuary 9, 2019Who: YOU and all your people for a holiday treat of presence and inspiration! What: EmbodyGR welcomes guest teacher Peri Jill!
